THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. JUNE 26, 1826. [THE TIMES.] In another part of our journal will be found' a para. - 7 graph dated Carlisle, giving an account of the death of another individual,.. occasioned by the firing of the military during the electien for that city. This makei the third ,death, and, as is usually the case under Simi hr circumstances, the three persons killed were entirely innocent of the disturbance, for the quelling of which the soldiers were introduced. We have already repro bated the unconstitutional practice which 'has'been re sorted to in so many places, of calling in the military at contested elections ; and we have lamented, as one of its most melancholy results, the apparent apathy with which in ahnost,every instance this novel outrage on the. constitution has • been regarded both by those who caused and those who witnessed it. We have now• a few words to say on one of the'most obvious and imme diate efkcts of this modern anomaly. It has appeared from the inquiry already made s that all the persons killed bad no concern whatever With the riots one was a girl sitting in her father's hotise ; a second a woman stand ing quietly at- her own door ; and the third a ul,an going home, and in Ids own street, which was empty 4 the tune. We will take it for granted, though it is by no means certain) that in each of these cases the killing was accidental ; but that circumstance in our mindssforitis' the, great objection to military interfer: : ence. - It isbecanse the application of military forcers from its very nature at once indiscriminate and deadly, that the law discountenances it, and common sense and justice abhor it: It iS true that force must he re pelled by force; but „there is no maxim in law more ,clear than this- - -that no maids justified in resorting to excessive force. The law justly imposes on all men Whose violen ce h as occas io ne d th e death of others, the onus of proving thatsthe violence was necessary in Self defence. What is true of individuals, applies also to Magistrates. They are not from the impulse of vain or exaggerated fears_ to have resort to the motif terrible of all remedies—the summary infliction of death : they were bound to show that there were no other possible means of quelling the tumult. It is not (as is so often. erroneously suppoeed) the reading of the Riot Act which invests them with such extra ordinary powers t - the Riot Act merely puts the rioters in: a , new:position with respect to the - penalties of law,, by converting the trespassera who disobey it into felons ; but though the rioter becomes a felon, 110 idon to be tried., by , a jury, and condemned by 04 jury, before he can be punished : he is not a :nad dog, tä be shot at by the first gun that can be levelled against hiss. The Riot Act, therefere, gives no power of summary punishment : it leaves the case, as regards the Magistrates, precisely as•before---- that is, the Magistrate must prove satisfactorily that the riot was 'of that fonnidoble and dangeraus'eharac ter, that nothing but military execution could subdue it. 'Them is another.. point ‘shich deserves s brief notice. ; The Coroner, it-is said, refused to receive as evidence the dying declaration of a Wounded man, because it hsd not been •tal:cn in the ptc:ience Of a inqtstrate. is lanientAble to et! a Wall filling m) important office so ignorant of one of the most familiar rules of his.:profeaslon. 'the declaration?! or, dying men, whether verbal or written, are always receivable as evidence to whoinsoever they are made, with the sole condition that the person making it believes him self , m , to. be dying, and. at tne, witness who repeats.it is weithy of belief. We earnestly, and with some con fidettlks. recommend this case to the attention of Mr. Peal, who has shown a very sincere regard for the laws and constitution, of his eisuntrv,, ley his strenuous and persevering "effbrietu strengthei;,,,:iyhatever is weak, and to ameliorate whatever is: defective in there, and thus to sender the system more durable, betauie more worthy of duration. We are sure that lie cannot do a more acceptable service than by ordering wstriet in quiry into all the circumstances of this melancholy transactionS:. and we rely upon hits firnineas to do his duty, if he shall find that the Magistrates have ex ceeded theirs. [TUE MOIiNfNG CHRONICLI:.] . It must .be owned, in justice: to the. , Lord Chan cellor, that his Lordship . never lets slip any opportu nity of setting off himself and the. Court over 'Which he presides to the utmost possible advantage Itseems Mr. Girdlestone, jun. had, on Friday, complained of the delay,. 4nd...the expellees Of the suit, amounting to 10,0001;' its'' the case Grantley v, Garthwaite. Mr. Sugden having remarked that the delay had originated with Counsel, and not with the COurt, his Lordship was not slow in perceiving -that he had every thing to gain by an inquiry into the particulars of this case. On Saturday he had no soonettaken his seat, than he 'proceeded to the grateful task of explaining in what manner a delay had taken place for which be was not roponsible., It was quite a God-send. lie had, seems, decided the original question—but he was then told that there was another' question of costs to be decided, not one word respecting which ; had been. mentioned at the hearing. Mr. Iforne: had likewise intimated, .that there was an other point in which some of the parties were in terested, as to a leasehold property ; but from that time to this he had not heard a single syllable upon the matter.. It was'now the Counsel's turn to speak, and Mr. Sugden stated, that upon considtation. It had been found better not to disgust,' the point, and this had been the real einilieOf the delay. The much-wron g ed head of the Court now dwelt on the h ar d s hip . o f his being made anTwetabie for all these . things ; but he soon showed that . he was not absorbed in anxiety for his own reputation, Init'.felt for the Court all the ten derness of a parent. 4 Thi s morning, lie *aid, he had read in a newapaper, that the costs of this Ina had amounted to 18,000 L, although there was but One tingle point to decide in the eau; Aural 4 wall Convin ce d there was no truth in it. lie felt that lir, owed ya dirty to the Counsel and Solicitor*, end he was bound to like care that they did not stiffer in public , opinion, when he I.new they ought not to auffer.'' .If there was hut tv'single point to decide, we should think it must have baffled even Chancery skill taowell the coats to 10,000/. and we are not, therefore, int.. prised that his Lordship should have entertained 110' The infermite which it is; tmf doubts on the subjeCt! comae, expected the public !'in'uld draw from exitiod is, that th,. delay Chancery can. always be satitifaAgrilY accounted for, withooltny Write attach ing either to his Lordship, the Coiinsel, or Soli c itors. 1 :i aystein itself is not bad, because his Lordship has alwayg reai4ted all'attemOsito change it. If large es- tates loan been swallowed up in Chancery litigation if thotti3and a after thou sands have died broken-headed, or been . kneed . 0 ) take refuge in the .workhouse, in consequence or :instice delayed, the fault has always been their own. The Lord Chancellor never hears a cause, takes the papers-home with him, and promises; time after time, to give judgment, and hangs the mat ier--"up flit. years. It may be seen from the present case, that neither he, nor the Counsel, nor the .Soli citors (for even Solicitors are now, it seems, blam&= less), are at all in fault. Friday and Saturday were triumphant days, indeed, for the Court of Chancery. LONDON GAZETTE.

Five FAMILIES ''PotsOrlin.----On Monday, a woman minted EizabetlyNeale, called at the hoime of a labouring man, named Dalton, with some veal for sale ; Dalton' purchased a joint of this veal, and dined on it, with his family of four chit; dren, on Tuesday. To the afternoon they.were all seized with . violent pains in the stomach, and still continue under the care of a sitrgeon, conflutvl to beth The family of Samna Berresford, in Heattin-laue, dined on another joint of the same calf, and were all attacked in the same manner. Three of them are confined to their beds and the other three, although not So violently affected, are still suffering from the effects of this deadly food. Three other 'families, one in Heaton-lane, one on Lancashire-hikand one in Perk-street, porchaSed veal from the same unman, and have all been attacked, more or leas violently, with similar symptoms.--• Elizabeth Neale, the woman who sold the veal, states, that she bought it from a wholesale dealer, named Salt. It is suppostd that the calf must have taken something t o p ro d uce mort ifi cat i on , which led to such melancholy result. An event nearly similar to the above, took place in the county of Cork litSt week. A man named Shea had is.heifer calf 'miring; Which died on Wednesday. Shea bad it dressed that evening for his family, who ate of it, as did some of the neighbours to the number of 12 persons. They Were all taken ill that night, and Shea's son, a lad 19 years of age, died on Saturday; a woman who partook of it died on Sun day, and the remaining 10 are so ill, that little hopes . sre enter tained of their' recovery.---Stockport Advertiser. CA ELI S LE, JUNE 22,—Yesterday morning the unfortunate man Robert Noble, who was wounded in the affair of the Bth, died of the would. An inquest was held on the body in the. afternoon, when the jury. declared that. " the death of the de mete' was accidental, awl arose from a shot fired by the military." The witnesses who were examined were the surgeon, who deposed to the nature of the wound, and its consequences, and who likewise offered to swear to the dying declaration of the deceased, that he had no concerti in the riot, and was returning quietly home when theaceident happened 1 but which the Coroner refased to receive " ivideuret on the grounds that the deposition was not taken in the presence of a Magistrate (no Magistrate ever condescended to visit the poor fellow), and that it was not signed by the deceased (which was physically impossible)—a gentleman who swore to the reading of the riot act..-and the individual who, on the previous inquests, swore to having seen Irvine, a private of the 85th, shoot Noble. In this man's evidence, on the two inquests, there was considerable discrepancy. It appeared that he did not positively see Irvine at the moment when he presunied him to haVe fired ; but that, lifting up his eyes the moment after, he saw him in such a positien, so far 'in advance of his troop, and the smoke of his piece so near him, th a t b e h a d no doubt whatever, fro m w h at h e . knew of fire (and he had seen a g reat deal of service), that I r vin e • fired the fatal shot. Th oug h thi s may be sufficient to w arran t one in forming a very !tram; opinion on the eubject,: it i s d ec id e dl y not such positive evidence as to' the fact, as is necessary in enabling a jury to come to an affirmative conclusion. The apparent con tradietions in his evidence arose entirely, !am convinced, from the manner in which he was examined, and . from hi: not being asked to explain them. Other witnesses came forward to prove that Noble had had no concern in the riot ; but the jury declared them selves perfectly satisfied of tliat fact, and their depositions were not taken. No inqui r y w h atever was wa de as to whether the ea lli n i out of the military wa s necessary , o r whether, when ca ll e d out , they behaved with prudence and humanity.'—( Globe aid TM- Mien j .

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jutnt STANTON AND KENNY V. PiNELOPIE AND CATHERINE MARIA FANSIIA WE. Mr. Serjeant ADAMS stated that this was an action brought to recover the amount of a hill which had been incurred in conse quence of the negligence of the defendants' servant. The plaintiffs were surgeons, carrying on business in partnership, and the defend ants were ladies of rank and fortune, residing in Berkeley-square. So long ago as the 81st of March, 1824, the accident which had given rise to the present action occurred, , On the evening of that day the defendants were in their carriage, returning from a visit to their relative, Sir B. Martin, in Somerset House, when their coachman drove their horses.with such speed, and with so much negligence, through the gateway of that place, that he drove over and seriously injured two females named Robertson awl Purvis. The defendants were immediately informed of the accident, and manifested, as might have been expected, the greatest sorrow for what had occurred ; one of the females had had her leg broken, awl the other her spine injured. The un, fortunate persons were taken to the plaintiff's house, and the de-i fendants desired Mr. Stanton to afford them every assistance, and promised to recompense him for his attendance. That gentle man accordingly attended Mm. Robertson and Mrs. Purvis, from the time of the accident to the 20th August, 1824, and for that attendance, as well as for the medicines furnished, he and his partner now claimed a sum of 471. As the defendants, for reasons best known to themselves, had refused to satisfy this claim, the plaintiffs had been compelled to come into tourt, and to ask from. a Jury that which no reasonable person could suppose to be other than a moderate demand, when the nature of the injuries, and the time consumed in curing them, were prbiterly considered.— The Learned Sergeant called a Mr. Gordon, who saw the acci dent,' and who swore to having afterwards seen one of the de fendants hand her card out of the carriage to Mr. Stanton, and hearing Lei. at the same time say, that she would see hint recom pensed for his trouble. Mr. Reynolds, who, at the time in question, was an apprentice to Mr—Stanton, proved the attendance and the medicines fur nished.--Mrs. Purvis, proved the injury she had received, and said, that the Mines Faushawe called on her during her illness, and told her that they had desired Mr. Stanton to .pay her every attention, and they would pay the expenses. She added, that in fact they had paid the expenses she had incurred. On her cross-examination she stated, that she bad received 50/. from the defendants as a compensation for the injury she had received. This was after!le had brought au action against them. Mr. Watson said, he had received asum of 761. from the Misses Fansh‘e. Of that suns 60/. was paid as a compensation to Mrs. Put:vis, and the rest for costs and the surieon'S bill. _ _ _ Mrs. Anne Neale, at whose house Mrs. Robertson lodged, swore, that once, when the Misses Fanshawe came there, they promised to pay the doctor's bill. Mr. Seijeant Searmix, for the defendants, said, that in point of law the defendants were not liable for any of the expellees that bad been incurred, as the injury which these persons lad sustain ed was purely accidental. What the defendants bad done, was merely out of a motive of humanity; and not only had they con sented to afford to each of the two injured persons ample compen sation, but they had also, in fact, paid all the expences that had been incurred. fie should prove these facts, and beyond these, that Mr. Stanton had himself declared, that be did not hold the Misses Fanshawe responsible ; and having clone so, the defendants would be entitled to a verdict. Mr: %amen', the defendant's attorney, proved that actions had been brought against the defendants, both by Mrs. Purvis and by Mrs., Robinson ; that the former was settled, on the pay ment of 761. as already described ; and the other on payment of 2001. When he made the calculations on which these settlements Were effected, he certainly did include in his mind the amount of the doctor's bill. Ile did so, because the defendants intended to recompence both these pereoni for all the expense and incon venience they had incurred in consequence of the accident. The attorney who had conducted Mrs. Robertson's action, proved the receipt , of the 2001. which be had paid over to his client. Mr. Stanton, requested to have notice when the money was paid to Mrs, Robertson, in order that be might come and receive his bill. Notice was accordingly given, and Mr. Stanton called on Mrs. Robertson, who complained that his bill was exorbitant, end offered bim a sum, which he refused to take. This witness was asked, on cross-examination, whether he had not offered to hring an action for Mr, Stanton, against the Misses ranshaws?—to which he immediately replied in the negative ; and added, that when the compromise was effected between those ladies and' m a client, he had asked Mr. Broughain and another gentleman, whom he had retained, whether such an action would lie, and they both told him it would not.
